or northern ground hornbill (Bucorvus abyssinicus).

A large, terrestrial hornbill with black body feathers and white primary feathers which are visible in flight. The adult male has a patch of bare blue skin around the eye and an inflatable patch of bare skin on the neck and throat which is red, apart from the upper throat which is blue. It has long feathers that look like eyelashes that surround its eyes. These protect the eyes from injury.

Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, June 2019
